CONS /
It's not the most rugged or the speediest USB drive out there.
VERDICT /
If you're looking for a no-frills USB 3.0 drive, this one will serve your purposes.
The Verbatim Store 'n' Go V3 Max has a retractable connector, which
allows it to protect your data without your being concerned with losing
a detached cap. Its feather-light weight of 0.3 ounces increases this
memory stick's portability. Although Verbatim claims transfer speeds of
175MBps, our testing revealed the V3 Max's performance to be a little
lackluster. This isn't the best USB flash drive on the market, but this USB 3.0 flash drive still far outperforms any USB 2.0 driv
The Store 'n' Go comes in three different capacities: 16GB, 32GB and
64GB. This USB drive has a hard plastic casing, but there is no loop for
connecting it to a lanyard or key chain. This pen drive is for general
use and is not suitable for rugged exposure or careless transport.
Unlike many USB drives, the Verbatim USB drive does not come
with a data-transfer indicator light, online backup or data restoration.
An indicator light is helpful if you want to know if the flash drive
device is communicating with the host device. You do have the option of
downloading password-protection software to safeguard the device or
specific files on the device. The software also protects your files with
256-bit AES encryption. Beware that if you incorrectly type in your
password 10 times, the EasyLock software erases all encrypted files
stored on the drive.
This USB flash drive is compatible with both PCs and Macs.
The V3 Max comes with a generous lifetime warranty, which you can view
in detail on the company's website. Support documentation, such as the
user manual and instructions for the EasyLock password-protection
software, are also available online. However, FAQs and community forum
information are rather scant on the site. Verbatim does provide
technical support via email, telephone and live chat.
